Hardware/Software Co-design for Real-Time Physical Modeling

Physical modeling of a mass-spring system allows for realistic object motion and deformation in a virtual environment. Previous work in this type of physical modeling relies on general-purpose hardware, and cannot offer the performance necessary for realtime human-machine interaction. In this paper, we consider the co-design of software and hardware in order to achieve real-time physical modeling.
